Americans' Satisfaction With Aspects of Their Life
How satisfied are you with the following aspects of your life? For each one, please tell me if you are very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied.
Stacked bar chart. Percentages of Americans who are very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, neither satisfied or not, somewhat dissatisfied and very dissatisfied with nine aspects of their personal lives. Majorities of U.S. adults are very satisfied with four of the elements -- family life, current housing, education and community as a place to live. In addition, a majority of employed Americans are very satisfied with their work. Fewer express the highest level of satisfaction with the remaining four life elements – the amount of leisure time they have, their personal health, their standard of living and household income. Taking the percentages who are “somewhat satisfied” into account, no fewer than 71% of Americans are satisfied with any of these aspects of their lives. Far fewer are very satisfied, especially when it comes to their income, health and leisure time. Satisfaction with household income is the lowest.
